Struggling to find right bra



Recommended Posts

According to studies about 80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra. I, being a very large breasted woman (34H) know this all too well.

I have a couple places i go to that are a couple hours away from me. But so worth the drive. When i wear the wrong size i can always tell... My back is in terrible pain.

I have been fitted a couple different ways. One place measures around the under of my breast... if you are an even number (36) add 4 = your band size would be a 40..... If odd (33) add 5 = 38 band size.... it should fit snug.

One fitted me by going across my breast and subtracted the band size from the across the boob size . I have an 8" difference... 8 alphabet down is H.... If you were 6" diff. you would be an F... 4" diff. you would be D.... and so on.

The other measures from the underneath the boob coming up to the nipple... same thing... each inch is a cup.

My best recommendation is to find a local boutique and have them fit you properly.... After i get my correct fit i then go to this site that YESSSSS it's in the UK... but i have never had any issues with orders with them. They sell bras and swim suits by the bra size....i have bought tons of stuff and the prices are much better than in a local store. www.belle-lingerie.com

I actually got measured @ Dillard's on Sunday, I had no idea what size I was, I have a drawer full of bras that don't fit . I used to wear a 42 D, I thought I was 38 C but nope I was a 34 D.. she brought me a Waacol bra and I'm telling you it was the most comfortable bra I have ever worn, in fact I wore it out of the store, my girls were where they should be and even though they are expensive $60 I bought two.. Getting a professional fitting is the answer.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
